My hope in creating this space for folk to grow. Credit given to the Resilience festival volunteers.

We want to welcome you to our website, but even more, we want to welcome you back to the land and a connection to your food. We are a community of gardeners, gleaners, and pastured chicken tenders. We hope to connect the eaters of food to their food and have everyone participate in the growing process. There are gardens, fruit trees, prairie landscapes, really free range chickens, a few families of Muscovy ducks, a family cows and her calves, and a dozen goats. And I almost forgot!! Turkey boy and his two gals. We are welcoming those who want to connect, to come here and see what they can create with their own hands. We also love to host Wwoofers, Children's groups, and Community organizations with a taste for Social Justice and Environmental Stewardship.

There will always be time for music here.....fiddles, guitars, pianos, harmonicas, banjos, recorders and singing around the campfire.Live music, people harmoniesand great food are what makes life worth living!Subscribe to our monthly Newsletter for Interesting links and classes
